"Recall I am 'confused' about a valid 'rule' here, I am simply noting a parallel situation."
I'm just really struggling to take your "confusion" seriously though Dan. Are you able to articulate the difference between a man and a woman? Or not even articulate it. Are you clear, just on an instinctive, observational level, about the differences between male and female bodies? If so, there's your "rule." If not, you're lagging behind most children who, at three-months-old, can already tell the difference.
Again, there is no parallel. The difference between black and white humans is literally skin deep. Because "black" and "white" are such broad, blurry categories. The difference between males and females is not. And again, we're not even talking about segregation in the racial segregation sense. Male facilities really are "separate but equal." If black/white facilities had *actually* been separate but equal, if black people were left unmolested by white people to lead their lives, if they'd been given what they were promised as compensation for their work during slavery, there'd have been far less opposition to racial segregation.
I suspect, given some of the arguments you made over the past few months, that deep down you believe that there's more to it than this. That there's some fundamental cognitive or genetic difference between dark skinned humans and light skinned humans. You seem uncomfortable admitting it in so many words, because most people will label you a racist and yell at you, but your arguments suggest very strongly that you still believe it.
But if my suspicions are correct, then you're wrong. And to see why you're wrong, all you need to do is seriously try to articulate the differences. Articulating them for males and females is easy. What are the "parallel" differences between black people and white people? What positives and negatives came from ending racial segregation? What are the "parallel" positives and negatives that would come from abolishing single-sex spaces?
I don't think you've thought about these questions very carefully, either from a "black" point of view or a female point of view.
